Be good, for goodness sake - Santa Claus is coming to town!

Andy Morris 27th Nov, 2024   0

HE’S making a list, and checking it twice – Santa Claus is coming to town in Rugby, and he could be bringing his sleigh to spread festive cheer in your neighbourhood.

Big-hearted volunteers from the Rugby Rokeby Lions Club will accompany Father Christmas and Rudolf on tour around Rugby Borough during December.

Starting from Saturday (November 30), Santa will be touring the town, stopping along the route to give Rugbeians a chance to take a picture with him.

Father Christmas and his helpers will be collecting cash donations for local charitable causes, or inviting residents to donate online.




Visit www.facebook.com/rugbyrokebylions for detailed route updates, or to track Santa on his neighbourhood routes each evening.
